PICKS, SEPT. 20: “NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM”

IMPRESSED AND EXCITED

Excellent gala at the Vladem Contemporary Museum—beautiful museum with fantastic gallery space. The attendees, many who donated their hard-earned money to make this much needed, modern/contemporary museum a reality, and guests were understandably impressed and excited. The disparaging comment in the “7 Days” section regarding the Vladem Contemporary couldn’t be more wrong! And I quote, “It’s been a long road, but Guadalupe Street finally has a place that locals can visit once and forget about forever.” Ouch! The area was hopping, people were eating out, visiting the other [galleries] that were open around the event, and there were smiles, laughter and music to be enjoyed by all. The vision of renowned architect, Devendra Narayan Contractor, was an experience to be enjoyed and appreciated by locals and tourists, alike and can only be an asset to all of Santa Fe!

NOT A GREAT SIGN

Very sad to hear of yet another smaller restaurant closing its doors. It must have been soul crushing for the owners the past few years so kudos to them for sucking it up everyday for their dreams and employees. Not a real great sign of the health of the local business climate. The options are beginning to dwindle...Hindsight is not helpful, but I’m sure they wished they’d remained a small Baca Street eatery. Best luck to the Opuntia owners and employees in their next chapters.

DISTRICT 3

Every election season SFR reprises a favorite tradition: pop quizzing candidates about information regarding the community they hope to represent. For the next several weeks, each issue features a different race. Last week was District 4; this week, it’s District 3, which comprises most of the Southside, including the neighborhoods west of Cerrillos Road and Lopez Lane, and south of Agua Fria Street as well as Tierra Contenta.

Incumbent Councilor Chris Rivera is not seeking another term, leaving the seat open for one of two candidates: Louis Carlos or Pilar Faulkner. Per ground rules, the candidates agreed to not use any sources besides their own knowledge to answer the questions asked. SFR records the conversations and reports the answers verbatim. Early voting in the Nov. 7 election begins Oct. 10. (Evan Chandler)

SCORE: 1/5

Louis Carlos retired from the Santa Fe Police Department in 2015 and is now a private investigator developing a true crime show. Carlos ran unsuccessfully for Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education in 2013 and previously served on the Santa Fe DWI Planning Council.

1. Tourism.

2. I have no idea.

3. In a typical month this year, I’d say around 2,500 calls.

4. Oh, 80% percent.

5. The Welcome Center where you walk in. [SFR then asked “Was there anything else?”] No.

1. What is the largest revenue generator for the City of Santa Fe?

2. In comparison to Q2 last year, by what percentage have the number of home sales increased or decreased in the city?

3. How many calls for service have city police received in a typical month this year?

4. What percentage of Santa Fe residents report speaking Spanish at home?

5. Name some of the projects planned or recently completed as part of the expansion at the Santa Fe Regional Airport.

SCORE: 2/5

1. Gross receipt taxes provided more than $146 million to city coffers in FY21/22, the largest single revenue item. The accommodations and food services category made up 15% of total taxable receipts, according to a FY23 second quarter report from the Finance Department.

2. The Santa Fe Association of Realtors reports home sales have decreased by 16.5% since last year.

3. The police receive an average of 6,549 calls per month based on police data from January to August.

4. According to US Census American Community Survey data, around 31.7% of residents over the age of 5 report speaking Spanish at home in Santa Fe.

5. The city broke ground on Phase 1 of construction at the airport about a year and a half ago. The planned $21.5-million expansion includes additional parking, installation of solar panels, five new gates, a baggage claim area and a bar and restaurant.

Pilar Faulkner first began lobbying on issues in her Tierra Contenta neighborhood and launched a consulting career in 2002 with her bizAcumen Advisory Group firm, specializing in government liaison services. She has served on the city Planning Commission since 2017 and is a former member of the Transit Advisory Board.

1. Tourism..well, gross receipts tax through tax on tourism.

2. I don’t know, I think

they’ve increased probably 10% maybe. Maybe more.

3. Oh my God, I don’t know. Probably hundreds. [SFR asked if Faulkner wants to give an estimate in the amount of hundreds.] I would say it has to be hundreds, probably over 500, and that’s including calls to deal with small stuff too. I’m not talking about murders or something.

4. I don’t know, 50% maybe? Maybe more. 60% maybe? In my district, it’s like 75%.

5. Oh, I don’t know. They completed a terminal, or they’re working on a terminal I’m pretty sure.

A Game of Four

Meet the candidates running in November’s most contested City Council race

City Council District 1 includes the site of one of Santa Fe’s most prominent culture clashes and economic polarities.

Not only is the district home to the Plaza, both a tourist-centric locale and a spot with deep traditional significance to the city’s residence, but its borders also include the city’s largest shelter for the homeless and the dense Cerrillos Road corridor. In addition to the downtown area and historic neighborhoods, the district includes all the territory north of the Santa Fe River and east of Cerrillos, plus neighborhoods along the west side of the city off West Alameda and Agua Fría streets down to Siler Road.

As Santa Fe chooses its next round of leaders, the box where the obelisk once stood and the crowded sidewalks near Pete’s Place send up distinct distress signals.

On the Plaza, what’s left of the Soldiers’ Monument after protesters toppled it in 2020 may be decorated with flowers, but the make-shift wooden covering represents an ugly wound that has not healed. Instead, it has become a symbol of city leadership’s failure to act.

Meanwhile, the visibility of people living on the streets and the hardships of a shortage of affordable housing persist despite public spending to assuage

them. Yet, District 1 also includes the city’s highest-valued real estate. The median home price for the “Northeast City” region rose 14.6% in the second quarter of 2023 from a year earlier— increasing from $1.2 million to $1.375 million compared to $604,500 as the citywide median.

Outgoing Councilor Renee Villarreal served two terms, winning a four-way race in 2016 and running unopposed in 2020, but announced early she would not seek re-election in the Nov. 7 contest.

Like Villarreal, all four candidates facing off for the open seat grew up in Santa Fe—restaurant owner Alma Castro, metal recycler Brian Patrick Gutierrez, retired administrator Katherine Rivera and lawyer Geno Zamora.

They must grapple with how to address the changing city and how to distinguish themselves in the most crowded local race this season.

With just two candidates each vying for the seats in District 2, 3 and 4, only voters in District 1 will have the option to rank candidates. If none of the candidates earns a plurality of first-ranked votes, ballots for candidates with the lowest number of votes are redistributed to the next choice.

SFR met with each candidate ahead of the election to discuss their various experience, motivation and goals. See page 13 for map of the district and key voting information.

Alma Castro agrees to meet with SFR at Tres Colores Restaurant across the street from City Hall on Sept. 8, the day candidates turned in the first round of campaign finance reports to the city clerk. At the same time, a few miles down Cerrillos Road, diners are starting to pack in for a typical lunch rush at her family’s restaurant, Café Castro. The mariachi musician, labor organizer and business owner returned to Santa Fe in 2020 to take over when her parents were ready to retire. Her homecoming inspired her not just to run for City Council, but to do so using public campaign financing.

“The campaign is based on having big money out of politics, so every conversation I have, it gets to really be about people’s issues,” Castro, 35, tells SFR. “It’s much more one-on-one asking what can I do for you as a constituent, and I love that.”

The Agua Fria resident says visits with would-be constituents help her learn about community members who live in parts of the district different than her own, and others reaffirm hyper-present community issues like affordable housing and the growing population of the unhoused within the city.

“I hear about [housing or the unhoused] at almost every door in some fashion,” she says. “Mostly, I think my platform around wraparound services and multi-use housing really resonates with folks because we need housing and because we are in a crisis that not only involves people being unhoused because there’s not access to physical housing, but also their needs aren’t being met around addiction, mental health and just support in general.”

After graduating from Santa Fe High School in 2005, Castro earned a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College before she moved to Chicago, where she taught and volunteered at public schools in addition to being a labor organizer. She says she helped the Chicago Workers Collaborative organize around temp work, and is already using those skills in her own café’s business model, which allows for employee ownership.

“My family has always sort of figured ways to stay in the city, and it’s never been easy to keep up with the cost of living as a working class family,” she says. “I want to give more people an opportunity to have in-

roads that way. Not every business is going to make millions, but the fact that we can just stay here and continue to raise our families in the city we know and love is all I’m asking for.”

The District 1 contest marks Castro’s first attempt at public office, but she’s already dipped a toe into politics at City Hall when she served on the Arts Commission, but publicly resigned because she disagreed with the city’s handling of obelisk and its sidelining of the commission.

She tells SFR that she’d like to see the obelisk replaced with a ground-level mosaic, with the idea to then locate a monument for veterans of all backgrounds at a different location. She spoke against a plan from Villarreal and others to rebuild the obelisk with the cracks filled in earlier this year and says the City Council “needs buy-in” for whatever comes next.

“I don’t think we should just leave it alone,” she says.

Shortly after Castro entered the race, outgoing incumbent Renee Villarreal endorsed Castro, and Castro has hired the same campaign manager Villarreal used, Cecile Lipworth. Lipworth tells SFR she promotes having women in office to ensure good representation.

“I think our City Council could really benefit from someone like Alma,” she says. “She’s young, and she’s dynamic. She really understands community and what it means to be in the community and be the voice of a community.”

On a recent afternoon, Castro and several campaign volunteers meet at Earl’s Laundromat on Agua Fría Street before they spread into the surrounding neighborhood. As a member of the first generation born in the US to El Savadoran parents and a Spanish speaker, Castro navigates campaigning in two languages.

Along the way, Castro passes her uncle’s house, where a sign for her campaign has fallen over. She adjusts it before moving on. On her campaign flyers, signs and in conversation, she’s also sure to include the name the Tewa people gave to the Santa Fe area prior to European colonization— O’Ga P’Ogeh Owingeh, or “white shell water place.”

“There was a name before Santa Fe, and there was a name before O’Ga P’Ogeh Owingeh, and we are such a connected community. This land is ours, all of ours, and we should know its history,” Castro says. “I’m very proudly a mixed person. And I don’t identify with any community in particular; I identify with the fact Santa Fe is my home.”

It’s a mostly cloudy Wednesday evening as SFR arrives at Frenchy’s Field Park off Agua Fria Street. As Brian Patrick Gutierrez stands in the parking lot waiting, he points to a pair of potholes beneath his feet.

“Imagine a little car like yours driving through that,” Gutierrez says, nodding to this reporter’s Honda Fit. He then turns his attention to nearby graffiti on a wall. “Stuff like this just isn’t acceptable.”

Prior to arriving at the park, 52-year-old Guiterrez was with his wife and two of his children in search of a spot for a campaign sign just a couple blocks down the street at the corner of Agua Fria and Velarde streets. The sign didn’t sit well anywhere he tried, so he carried it back to his truck, he says. So it goes as he tries to build his name recognition for a second run at the seat.

The lifelong Santa Fe resident spent his early years in the banking industry before moving to towing and car sales. At one time, he owned a towing business, but today he owns and operates a scrap metal recycling buy back center on the city’s Southside.

“Not far from here is where I’ve lived most of my life— the street where we were putting up the sign is where I started,” Gutierrez says.

In the 2021 election, he failed to unseat Councilor Signe Lindell, but he tells SFR despite defeat, he’s proud of the results of that campaign. He qualified for public campaign financing in that race and again for this time around. He managed to snag 20% of the vote in that race, the second most votes in the four-candidate faceoff where Lindell received more than 60% of the vote.

“When you look at the totals, I went from just being relatively unknown to getting out and hitting those doors,” Gutierrez says. “It was a learning experience, and it was a great experience. I knew that I was climbing a huge mountain.”

Gutierrez says he wants to build on his experience serving on the 2013 Charter Review Commission and eight years on the Planning Commission, the last one as chair. He says City Council is the next

step in the succession to help create a better future for the city.

“Roads with potholes, weeds, graffiti, open drug use and the unhoused are all issues that we as a city need to take care of no matter who wins, because if not, it’s just going to get continually worse,” Gutierrez says. “You’ve seen or read what’s happened in San Francisco, and we’re nowhere near that, but we want to curtail what we can.”

Those ideas “aren’t far off” from what he’s hearing from voters during his campaign, which has an active focus on engaging the city’s Hispanic communities. He’s working with Cesar Bernal, who serves as bilingual coordinator and helps Gutierrez “with whatever is needed” to deliver the message to Spanish speakers. He says he supports Gutierrez’s bid for City Council in the same way the candidate has helped him.

“One of the things I appreciate most about Brian as a person and a friend are the values he holds, how close he is to his family,” Bernal tells SFR. “He’s always been a person with the spirit to help everybody.”

Gutierrez says even as a freshman councilor, he would act independently. He’s already putting this philosophy into practice. At a candidate forum hosted by the Santa Fe Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Sept. 21, he was the sole District 1 contender to propose rebuilding the obelisk in its original form at its original location.

“It’s frustrating that people can go and vandalize a monument as opposed to sitting down and trying to talk through the issue. I understand that there are inscriptions that aren’t kind, but as time changes, so do mindsets,” he said during the forum.

Gutierrez also serves as a member of the St. Michael’s High School Parents’ Association and has held other volunteer posts.

“I am not going into this as a politician,” he says “I’m going into this as a public servant. And I know the difference.”

Katherine Rivera

She returned home to Santa Fe after a career in business and wants to restore the city’s image

Katherine Rivera never saw herself running for City Council, she tells SFR at a table in the middle of the DeVargas Center. Now, as a political unknown, she’s knocking on doors and meeting people in her first-ever campaign.

A Santa Fe native and self-described “product of the Catholic school system” as a St. Francis and St. Michael’s graduate, Rivera, 61, spent 35 years working in the corporate world and traveled globally before returning to District 1 in 2008, where she lives on the same street she grew up on near Rosario Chapel. A regular volunteer for litter cleanup efforts, she says she’s running because she hasn’t liked all the changes she’s seen happening over the years since her return.

“In my opinion, the city is eroding from all areas: quality of life areas, we’ve got the housing crisis, we’ve got open drug-use issues, and things that have happened permeate throughout the city, not just District 1,” Rivera says.

As she’s talked with voters on the campaign trail, she says many have vocalized concerns about how the city government handles its money, including its “inability to do audits.” At the end of July, the city submitted the FY21 audit two years late. Officials aim to conclude FY22 and FY23 audits this year, but time is running out.

Though she says her project management experience will help in the council’s oversight roles, Rivera’s own campaign financing puts her in fourth place among the candidates. She initially sought to qualify for public campaign financing, but fell approximately 20 $5 contributions short of qualifying. Now, per her recent campaign finance report, she’s collected $1,025 in contributions and serves as her own campaign treasurer.

Rivera hopes to use her business background to bring a different perspective to governing and problem solving.

“The corporate world is all about accountability. It’s all about deliverables. It’s all about completing things. It’s all about starting the project, finishing the project. Meeting the deadlines,” she says. “I get the sense that’s not the way the government rolls, and I’m hoping that some of that in-

quisitiveness and expectation for deliverables will drive that. I think I can ask the right questions and maybe, through some influence, encourage some change of behavior or attitude in the direction the city is going.”

Rivera says Santa Fe is losing its image. Her bid to preserve culture includes rebuilding the Soldiers’ Monument, but “the

question that will be open is where,” she said during a candidate forum.

“I would like to see it rebuilt, even with the cracks in it,” Rivera added, referencing a pottery repair technique also envisioned by some city councilors who ultimately withdrew their proposal this past spring.

“It could represent a healing process to that.”

She tells SFR the city cannot continue to be a leader in arts and culture or history if councilors can’t solve other aspects of the city like rising housing costs and rising crime as well. Her campaign website notes auto break-ins in driveways and trailheads and auto thefts as examples she’s heard from voters.

Rivera supports creating a dedicated stream of revenue for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund rather than taking money out of the general fund for that purpose, and says she’s in support of a high-end housing tax measure also before voters. Through her campaign, she hopes to snag the seat to bring the “average citizen” to City Council.

“I am a small team, independently run. I’m not backed by a big machine. I know the view from outside about ‘What is she doing there?’ I get it, but I want to be at the table for the conversation,” she says. “I want to be able to speak up for the average citizens of Santa Fe like myself who’ve seen the changes, experienced the changes in our neighborhood and feel like they’re not getting through to City Hall.”

Geno Zamora

Former city attorney leans on relationships, former experience to bring people together

Without a doubt, Geno Zamora, 54, has attended more City Council meetings than anyone else running for the District 1 seat. But he’s never been elected to office.

As city attorney for nearly four years under former Mayor David Coss, then during a return to the job temporarily for the early part of Mayor Alan Webber’s administration, Zamora witnessed and participated in many, many hours of council deliberations and interpreted the city code on topics ranging from escarpment maps to marriage equality. Early in his career as an attorney, he served as chief counsel for Gov. Bill Richardson and assistant attorney general under Tom Udall, even running for the statewide job of attorney general in 2006.

He tells SFR this experience, plus a private legal practice that includes representing school districts, has helped him build strong connections with staff and a good understanding of how to do the job of city councilor.

“I know the employees. I know the departments, and I know their work, so this gives me a lot of insight on how to work together as council members to get work done and to understand there are going to be times we disagree.” Zamora says.

He’s already literally banking on his relationships, which are a key part in his current lead in private fundraising, managing to raise over $53,000 in time for the first campaign finance report deadline. Zamora says he’s leaning on friends locally from Santa Fe and within the larger state, but also from Boston, Tucson and Washington DC. One of

those friends was former Richardson, who died on Sept. 5.

“I do get a little misty about that contribution,” Zamora tells SFR. “Gov. Richardson contributed to my campaign very early on, and it just means a lot to have his support. But now it makes me emotional.”

The former city attorney, who moved from District 2 into a home off Tano Road about two and a half years ago, has received support from a handful of major local political players, including Councilor Signe Lindell, who holds the other District 1 seat, and two of Webber’s predecessors: Former Mayor Debbie Jaramillo and Coss. (Webber has also donated to the campaign, though Zamora tells SFR he did not seek Webber’s endorsement. Meanwhile, Zamora hired Sandra Wechsler as campaign manager for his City Council bid—the same manager Webber hired for his 2021 re-election campaign. )

Jaramillo tells SFR she’s known Zamora “since he was a toddler” because her family and his were close.

“Geno, as far as I can tell, is the only candidate I’ve heard with real issues that I’ve supported since 30 years ago,” she says. “It’s kind of sad to say that 30 years later we still have to address these same issues, but hey, he’s doing it, and I know he will follow through with everything he believes in.”

Coss’ endorsement comes despite Zamora’s legal advice during his administration that landed the city in trouble over how it spent part of a 2008 bond. Even though he’s called that the “lowlight” of his time at City Hall, Zamora says the seeds have been planted for his City Council run since his stint as city attorney, when he got “hooked on helping the people in the community.”

He says his year of serving as the general counsel for the state Economic Development Department has him looking

DISTRICT 1

The district covers the north side and downtown as well as neighborhoods along Agua Fría, West Alameda and Cerrillos Road.

at strategies such as asking for state money to help recruit and retain new businesses and to grow old ones in conjunction with creation of higher wage jobs.

When it comes to the obelisk, Zamora says “a decision needs to be made.” His vision includes moving a restored obelisk to the Santa Fe National Cemetery and erecting a gazebo on the center of the Plaza.

He says there’s a way councilors can work together to achieve the goals of each district and move all of Santa Fe forward, but it can’t happen without unity.

“I’m the fifth of five children. I’m a mediator. I like bringing people together,” he tells SFR. “The city looks to its governing body, the council and mayor for guidance, and if we’re dividing our community, the community is divided.”

MUSIC THU/28

HEY, SULLY

Sometimes it feels like explaining jazz to someone is as daunting a cultural task as there is. Within the labyrinth of names, styles, genre rules—those who like bending or breaking those rules—composers, bandleaders, players, historical moments and newcomers, it’s no small job to define jazz, let alone what’s good. When it comes to a musician/pianist like Sullivan Fortner, though, the proof is in the pudding. The Grammy-winning Fortner calls New York City home these days, but he came up in New Orleans (that’s a hell of a jazz bonafide) and has, over the last 10 years or so, proven an adept and adaptable jazz presence who incorporates countless styles, improv high among them, for standout tracks and live performances. We’ll make it easy, actually—if you like jazz, we bet you’ll like this. (Alex De Vore)

Sullivan Fortner Trio: 7 pm Thursday, Sept. 28. $30-$35

SITE Santa Fe, 1606 Paseo de Peralta, (505) 989-1199

ART OPENING FRI/29

PROPHETIC

Artist Thomas Vigil seems to have hit the jackpot with his upcoming Evoke Contemporary show, Lost Prophets—an anachronistic combination of methods and styles that encapsulates and displays a knack for both so-called fine art technique and more contemporarily respected milieus, such as graf art and spray can ephemera. In Prophets, Vigil presents a series of well- and lesser-known modern day prophets merged with touches of religious iconography, activism and street art intensity. Find Chris Cornell and Kurt Cobain mingling with Dolores Huerta and a dude you might know named Jesus Christ. You’ll note other familiar faces among the gritty portraits and tags. This one’s dense, kids. (ADV)

PERFORMANCE FRI/29-SUN/1

LA DOLCE VITA

Media is littered with interesting tales of folks connecting with others many years their senior (Harold & Maude forever), and Santa Fe’s own Anna Yarrow delves into the concept this week at Teatro Paraguas with her multimedia show, The World Beautiful. Yarrow based the piece on her real-life experience as a caretaker for former Los Alamos National Laboratory electrical engineer David Brown, an amateur mountaineer with whom Yarrow developed a meaningful connection during the early days of the pandemic. At 93, Brown has 50 years on Yarrow, yet their relationship blossomed. And Yarrow wrote it all down. In The World Beautiful, find a dramatic retelling of the tale with actor Don Converse tackling the role of Brown betwixt Yarrow’s writings, photos, conversational moments and even songs. Our take? Sounds moving as hell. (ADV)

The World Beautiful: 7:30 pm Friday, Sept. 29 and Saturday, Sept. 30; 3 pm Sunday, Oct. 1. $20

Teatro Paraguas, 3205 Calle Marie, (505) 424-1601

Being Vocal

You might not expect a singer-songwriter to know much about gravel extraction, but Sarah Harmer is an exception. The Canadian songstress hits the Lensic Performing Arts center this week in an opening slot for Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band—she also passionately toggles between performance and community organization and activism.

Harmer hails from Ontario and spent her teenage years in the late ‘80 hanging around concerts with legendary Canadian act Tragically Hip. She subsequently fell in love with the rock scene in Ontario city Kingston and carved out a place with her band Weeping Tile by 1992. A few years later, however, Harmer struck out on her own to craft solo tunes.

“I just felt like I really needed to express myself,” she tells SFR,” just for myself.”

That first solo album, You Were Here, became something of an alterna-rock hit in 2000, and just five years later, Harmer received her first Juno (like a Canadian Grammy) for her third album, All of Our Names. Harmer also upped her activism game in ‘05, when a proposed gravel development threatened her beloved Niagara Escarpment neighborhood, leading her to co-found the nonprofit Protect Escarpment Rural Land. Through that org, Harmer and her community collaborated with biologists, lawyers and fellow organizers to fight resource extraction and potential well water contamination; she even got the concert film/documentary Escarpment Blues out of

the deal in 2006—which won a Juno in ‘07 for Best Music DVD, btw—and by 2012, the development shut down, according to Harmer.

Which was sweeter, though, the Juno or the gravel thing?

“[It is] definitely, definitely winning the quarry,” she says with a laugh.

Harmer continues to engage in environmental activism while balancing music.

“They are two different kinds of modes” she explains. “It’s hard for me to just kind of put aside my judgments and critical mind and...try to get into poetry and songwriting.”

The 2020 record Are You Gone proves Harmer discovered a way, however, with thoughtful lyrics and up-beat melodies rooted in alternative rock. Harmer tapped producer Marcus Paquin (The National, Arcade Fire) for the recording. The theme of loss is poignant throughout, but hits especially hard with “See Her Wave,” a gorgeous country send-off to a departed friend. “Where did such [a] unique and energetic spirit go?” Harmer wonders aloud on the track.

There isn’t really an answer, but it’s easy to take comfort in Harmer’s musical salve for the soul. (Georgina Hahn)

La Emi

On Sept. 21, the Santa Fe Children’s Museum launched Home, a new interactive exhibit focused on teaching kids about Chinese, Japanese and Hmong cultures. As a member of the Association of Children’s Museums, Santa Fe’s museum applied for and received a grant from the Freeman Foundation Asian Culture Exhibit Series to create the exhibit, which will be on display for the next six months ($7-$10, 1050 Old Pecos Trail, (505) 989-8359). As the exhibit closes out its first week, we caught up with the museum’s Executive Director Hannah Hausman to learn more. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

What will the experience be like for a child who visits?

This exhibit is designed for children and families to examine the insides and outsides of Chinese, Japanese and Hmong homes. It has a focus on cooking and food and gardening and play for each culture so children can then play in those environments and see what that would be like, whether they’re growing plants on a Beijing balcony or crossing over a koi pond or creating origami or telling a story. Then we have a cooking area, and the reason that’s important for us is because we do a lot of cooking and gardening at the Children’s Museum. We have an acre-plus outdoor space, and although it’s under renovation right now—which is actually exciting—that area has a really large garden in it. The kids are really used to going out there and learning how gardens work, how to harvest and how to cook from your garden, so we thought this really correlated well with what we do.

What sparked your interest in this particular grant, and why was it so important for the Santa Fe Children’s Museum to have an exhibit like this?

I think it’s important to broaden everyone’s horizons when it comes to culture. This was an area that I thought was

important, too. I mean, any area of culture is important to educate families on, but when something pops up like this that is so unique that you might not see in a place like the Southwest or New Mexico, I thought it was important to educate our families on these specific places. Bringing an international city to a small museum like Santa Fe, meaning like, bringing a home in China here, I think, is a really unique experience for a child to be able to be hands-on with it. Our mission is discovering the joys of learning, play and community. In essence, what that means is we really look at play and how you learn through play.

You know, the other culture piece, I think, is that a lot of times people have misconceptions about certain cultures. I was just speaking to a family member yesterday that came to the opening, and he’s like, ‘I’m from Korea. A lot of times people forget that we’re all from different regions, and we share different traditions.’ Especially with the Hmong culture, that’s why I think they chose that particular city, because I think there is a lot of misconception sometimes that happens with people. I’ve had a few families come in and be really appreciative that the exhibit is showing children and families a different part of the world and they can learn about it in such an open way. That was important to me, just that we have that.

As a museum that is almost 40 years old now, what would you say is the secret to keeping it alive and still bringing fresh exhibits?

That’s a really good question. Well, I can’t believe we’re almost 40. You know, I see us as a community treasure and an anchor here in the Santa Fe community, but we also serve a lot of Northern New Mexico and even beyond because we have a lot of tourists that come and visit us, and children’s museums really serve an important purpose in every community... There’s not a museum like us in this region that can do what we do, which is informal learning for the early childhood community. There may be things going on at school and at home that are equally as important but then you look at play and the development that’s happening from zero to 5, there’s some real work going on there. You probably remember yourself what your favorite thing to do as a kid was. A lot of times people say you know, climbing a tree or Legos. A lot of it is related back to that play and what that did for them and how it helps them grow. So, the long term for us is growing future artists, future engineers, future scientists and future kind people who understand all of the humanities. So, there’s a lot of important work happening here at our museum and others too.

Ouroboros Bagels’ Adam Stone impresses with quality and consistency

At the risk of starting the next great Santa Fe food-based flame wars, let’s talk about the best bagels in town.

I know, I know—it’s a big deal and a sore subject amongst the *shudder* foodies, but I found them. I tell you now in hopes of ending the ancient local bagel arguments. We get it, man, you’ve found better bagels in the world; no one understands it like you; it’s gonna be OK.

“It’s the way they boil the bagels that make ‘em! It’s the lye!” some will shout. “It’s the New York water!”

“It’s not the water,” says Ouroboros Bagels founder and baker Adam Stone confidently, “it’s the altitude. It also has to do with the ambient humidity, and that changes no matter where you live. Really, what it is is the feel—a particular combination of firmness in the dough, the density, the moistness, the stickiness.”

From a tiny live/work space hidden behind Back Road Pizza in the Second Street Studios, Stone has hit upon that same old thing that has vexed bakers in Santa Fe for eons—adjusting for altitude. His deep dough thoughts aren’t the kind of thing you’ll often hear from folks who talk shit about local ba-

gels. Stone has been building upon well over a decade of his own personal bagel experience in that space; he’s been hosting bi-weekly pop-ups from 9 am-2 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (which you can double-check via his Instagram, @ouroboros_bagles). He’s quietly cracked the secrets of producing a consistently excellent bagel in Santa Fe.

Don’t get it twisted, though, because we do have some good options in Santa Fe. I’ll die on a hill defending Boultawn’s green chile and cheese bagel, and Thomas Kamholz of Plantita Vegan Bakery churns out some of the most delicious bagels in all the land. Still, though, and with respect, they can’t hold a candle to Stone’s product. An Ouroboros bagel is just crispy enough on the outside and just chewy enough on the inside, and they come consistent in terms of size, taste, texture and quality. You can get ‘em plain, you can get ‘em in poppyseed or sesame seed form ($1.75); you can get a Chimayó red chile bagel, an everything bagel, an olive and rosemary bagel ($2); or you can get the crown jewel biyali with onion and special seasoning ($5)— so why isn’t this dude blowing up yet?

There are a couple of reasons, but mainly that he’s not in a hurry. Yes, Stone would like to take his product to the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market; he’d like to find some commercial kitchen space; he’d ultimately like to create his own space from which he might bake bagels for resale in stores and restaurants. But he’s taking things one step at a time just now.

Stone came up in Montana, moved to Maryland for a couple years and then spent the bulk of his life in Portland, Oregon during a time when, he says, “it was still the place where everybody was moving every other week—as well as a place that was getting hit hard by the housing crisis in 2009.” That’s how he wound up sleeping on his brother’s couch in Albuquerque circa 2011. He chased a relationship to Santa Fe the next year. While that didn’t work out, he was here to stay.

“Gone are the days of ‘my car broke down

and I never left,’” he says jokingly of a certain cross-section of Santa Fe’s populace. “I did not expect I’d move to Santa Fe, especially with the cultural overlap of the Portland I was fleeing, but it’s surprisingly international in Santa Fe. That’s one of the reasons I stayed.”

He had worked at a bagel-based bakery in Portland called Bagel Land, though it wasn’t a burning passion for baking that led him there so much as it was a want ad.

“My entire interview consisted of [an owner] asking if I could bake,” he tells SFR. “When I said no, he asked ‘Can you show up tomorrow at 3 am, and we’ll try you out for a week and see if you’re not doing well?’ I said I could, and we never revisited my not doing well.”

He went on to also put in a stint at Einstein Bros. in Albuquerque, but it was the Bagel Land experience that taught him best. Einstein Bros. are fine, Stone notes, but they’re made by injecting steam during the baking process rather than with that all-important boiling step.

“I was definitely aware I was doing it improperly every day,” he says.

Which kind of makes his fledgling business all the more important. In reality, Stone says, bagels aren’t a passion through which he’s baring his artistic soul. Rather, baking them is something he realizes he’s good at doing, and it’s inoffensive work. Frankly, it’s kind of refreshing to hear that take—a man who knows how to make a hell of a bagel and does so without pretense. So what happens next?

“My end goal would be to have a place where I can do large production,” Stone says. “There are so many re-sale options, and that’s what I’d rather be doing. I want to make bagels for other businesses.”

For now, Stone hosts the aforementioned pop-ups twice a week, and he’ll accept special orders (no delivery, though) and commissions. The special bagels like the red chile might not be available otherwise, at least until business picks up.

Orange is the New Black writers Laura Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo team with The Social Network co-scribe Ben Mezrich and I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie for Dumb Money, an almost spiritual successor to Adam McKay’s 2015 finance flick The Big Short, only with more recent touchstones and a far more satisfying conclusion.

Viewers should probably brush up on concepts like short selling and short squeezes to fully appreciate what this one’s laying down—or at least know that billionaires, at one point in time, referred to amateur traders as “dumb money,”—but even those not wellversed in market politics will find an enjoyable smallbeats-big parable that just plain feels good.

Dumb Money tells the real-life story of Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty, a one-time financial analyst and social media personality who, in 2021, single-handedly drove up furor surrounding stocks for video game retailer GameStop, which resulted in a massive uptick that ruined at least one hedge fund, exposed investment app Robinhood for scummy business practices and terrified the rest of Wall Street. And though some might balk at the idea of a film dedicated to GameStop and money, it’s honestly fascinating to better understand how things shook out, even if the movie takes artistic liberties (of course it does). Still, the real impacts of Gill’s once-in-a-lifetime machinations will, at

A HAUNTING IN VENICE

7 + GOOD FUN, CINEMATOGRAPHY - WRAPS UP RATHER SUDDENLY; NEVER ENOUGH YEOH

Filmmaker and actor Kenneth Branagh returns as Agatha Christie’s most charming detective Hercule Poirot, replete with his version of the fabled mustache, in A Haunting in Venice, a rather fun little jaunt based on Christie’s Hallowe’en Party. In addition to starring in the film about murder most foul, Branagh also directed the tale re-set from its original British locale to the sinking-est city in all of Italia.

Here Poirot has retired to the canals, where he’s left casework behind for a queue of needy would-be clients on his doorstep and daily pastries, gardening and, probably, mustache combs. He’s really simplified his existence when a friend and author from the states named Ariadne Oliver (a capable if unremarkable Tina Fey) arrives to coax him back into the fray with a seemingly impossible setup: A medium is scheduled to hold a seance at the most haunted house in Venice, and Ariadne thinks she can get a book out of it. She’s all about due diligence and thus invites Poirot to come kick the tires, as it were, and see if the medium is for real.

Said medium (the ever-brilliant Michelle Yeoh) does indeed wish to contact the dead, namely the daughter of the opera singer Rowena Drake (Kelly Reilly) who bought the haunted house shortly before the kid died mysteriously some months ago. Obviously a whole mess of people attend the seance,

least according to the film, forever impact how people think about the market.

The illustriously weird Paul Dano plays Gill with a kind face and gentle delivery that bely his character’s internet persona, but weirdly sell his performance as trustworthy and true. Dano makes Gill lovable, even as his onscreen brother (Pete Davidson) sucks all the air out of the room with ball-busting pseudo humor and brotherly ribbing that takes up valuable time. Shailene Woodley appears as Gill’s wife, though, sadly, she has little to do outside of a brief moment of spousal tension that gets diffused before it even really begins.

Elsewhere, a series of interconnected vignettes focused on real-world billionaires like Gabe Plotkin (Seth Rogen), Ken Griffin (Nick Offerman) and Steve Cohen (Vincent D’Onofrio) intermesh with those of new GameStop investors—including an RN (America Ferrera), a collegiate couple (Myha’la Herrold and Talia Ryder) and a GameStop employee (Anthony Ramos of Hamilton fame)—plus the founder-CEOs of Robinhood (Sebastian Stan and Rushi Kota). These

some end up dead and Poirot re-learns why he loves detecting in the first place. Throw in a few red herrings and a surprising twist ending, and baby—you’ve got a Christie plot.

Branagh has certainly eked out his own take on the much-performed Poirot, and though he’s no Albert Finney, he certainly goes the extra mile with that Belgian accent in his third appearance as the character following Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile. Fey can’t quite keep up with the perhaps more studied actor, despite her reciting a few good lines throughout the film. Is it possible she was hired for her killer transatlantic accent impression? Maybe so. Either way, the good stuff doesn’t get rolling until Yeoh’s medium character arrives all full of tears and barely-whispered portends of death.

The wider cast of suspects is a veritable who’swho of detective fiction, from the tortured WWII war doc (a melodramatic Jamie Dornan) and his creepy bookworm kid (Jude Hill) to the ultra-religious housekeeper (Camille Cottin), the deceased girl’s former fiancee (Kyle Allen) and a retired cop who has been working as Poirot’s bodyguard (Vitale Portfoglio), among others. A Haunting truly excels, however, in setting up a whodunnit with tried and true horror tropes: Did a bunch of orphans die in this house? Check. Does Poirot hear them singing? Check. Do the seance participants get stuck in the house because of a storm? Big time.

Know what’s cool about scary (or semi-scary) movies? They don’t have to rewrite the game, they just have to be fun. This is that. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 103 min.

MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 3

+ GREECE SURE IS PRETTY

- UNFUNNY; UNORIGINAL; UNINTERESTING; UNREDEEMABLE

8 + FUN AND FUNNY; FASCINATING, BOTH SOCIALLY AND FINANCIALLY SPEAKING - REQUIRES SOME MARKET KNOWLEDGE; PETE DAVIDSON IS TEDIOUS

sections might be the most fun, particularly when we see the folks from Robinhood stumble in interviews or hem and haw their way through what happened the day they wouldn’t let anyone buy GameStop stocks (not super legal; nothing came of it, sadly), or how much new investors believed in Gill.

The whole GameStop debacle, you might recall, went before a Congressional committee in the end. And though nobody went to jail and the billionaires mainly just re-structured, the film tells us in a text scroll that the big bad finance bros and babes on Wall Street finally had to take amateur traders seriously. ‘Twas a moment in time, all told, but a bizarre and glorious one, and Dano’s showstopper speech about the market’s inherent unfairness feels so powerful. We love to see the rich sweat it out—we love to see smart money fail.

DUMB MONEY

Directed by Gillespie

With Dano, Rogen, D’Onofrio, Offerman, Ferrera, etc. Violet Crown, R, 105 min.

nal to his childhood best pals from the old country. And so begins 90 minutes of jokes about souvlaki and sheep who wander indoors and the overbearing nature of Greek moms and blah fucking blah blah blah.

Nobody saw Nia Vardalos’ My Big Fat Greek Wedding coming when it released in 2002, but the filmmaker’s first foray into the world of movies proved a critical and financial darling.

Then came the sequel no one wanted in 2016, which would have been forgivable if not for the recent release of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3—a sequel so devoid of humor, originality, pep, enjoyment, stakes, drama, good writing, interesting cinematography, music or even hope that it almost feels insulting to have watched it. I mean, I’m a Greek dude myself, and I’ve seen how our families operate—not a one of us goes around reminding literally fucking everyone that we’re Greek at any opportunity, yet that’s the bulk of Vardalos’ newest film.

This time out, the Portokalos family with all of its barely-there facsimiles of characters head to Greece for a family reunion at the behest of up-and-coming matriarch Toula (Vardalos). Everyone’s there, from the dimensionless brother (Louis Mandylor) and the pair of aunties who are just so full of non-threatening sass (Andrea Martin and Maria Vacratsis) to Toula’s non-Greek husband (John Corbett) and daughter (Elena Kampouris, who kind of just makes ruh-roh faces anytime she’s on screen).

Toula’s dad died at some point between the last movie and now, so she’s supposed to bring his jour-

Vardalos, who wrote the script and here directs, might have bothered to at least not recycle literally three jokes ad nauseam, but instead chooses to stitch together roughly 40 scenes that only connect because the characters tell us so. In fact, so little of MBFGW3 reads like a cohesive film that I was nearly convinced I’d had a stroke before I walked in. Rather than craft something meaningful, like the first film, Vardalos has instead tossed some deus ex machina and MacGuffin elements into the type of script that might serve as a warning for what not to do, peppered in a few jokes about food and cooking, snuck in the quickest bit of nonbinary representation and one throwaway line about helping Ukrainian refugees and then, one can only assume, cashed her check for the free work trip to Greece and moved on.

This film is crammed with toothless humor, zero character development and one of the most exhausting long lost brother moments in the history of long lost brother moments. Only Martin and Vacratsis offer any levity or quality acting (looking at you, Joey Fatone from N’Sync, who is somehow in these movies) or reasons to laugh with sincerity. Shame on them for making this thing and shame on audiences for continuing to allow it. Boo! Filth! Muck! Slime! Rubbish! Boooooo! (ADV)

PSYCHICS

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny Week of September 27th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Author Diane Ackerman says it’s inevitable that each of us sometimes “looks clumsy or gets dirty or asks stupid questions or reveals our ignorance or says the wrong thing.” Knowing how often I do those things, I’m extremely tolerant of everyone I meet. I’m compassionate, not judgmental, when I see people who “try too hard, are awkward, care for one another too deeply, or are too open to experience.” I myself commit such acts, so I’d be foolish to criticize them in others. During the coming weeks, Aries, you will generate good fortune for yourself if you suspend all disparagement. Yes, be accepting, tolerant, and forgiving—but go even further. Be downright welcoming and amiable. Love the human comedy exactly as it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus comedian Kevin James confesses, “I discovered I scream the same way whether I’m about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.” Many of us could make a similar admission. The good news, Taurus, is that your anxieties in the coming weeks will be the “piece of seaweed” variety, not the great white shark. Go ahead and scream if you need to—hey, we all need to unleash a boisterous yelp or howl now and then—but then relax.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here are famous people with whom I have had personal connections: actor Marisa Tomei, rockstar Courtney Love, filmmaker Miranda July, playwright David Mamet, actor William Macy, philosopher Robert Anton Wilson, rockstar Paul Kantor, rock impresario Bill Graham, and author Clare Cavanagh. What? You never heard of Clare Cavanagh? She is the brilliant and renowned translator of Nobel Prize Laureate poet Wisława Szymborska and the authorized biographer of Nobel Prize Laureate author Czesław Miłosz. As much as I appreciate the other celebrities I named, I am most enamored of Cavanagh’s work. As a Gemini, she expresses your sign’s highest potential: the ability to wield beautiful language to communicate soulful truths. I suggest you make her your inspirational role model for now. It’s time to dazzle and persuade and entertain and beguile with your words.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I cheer you on when you identify what you want. I exult when you devise smart plans to seek what you want, and I celebrate when you go off in high spirits to obtain and enjoy what you want. I am gleeful when you aggressively create the life you envision for yourself, and I do everything in my power to help you manifest it. But now and then, like now, I share Cancerian author Franz Kafka’s perspective. He said this: “You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s talk about changing your mind. In some quarters, that’s seen as weak, even embarrassing. But I regard it as a noble necessity, and I recommend you consider it in the near future. Here are four guiding thoughts. 1. “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” —George Bernard Shaw. 2. “Only the strongest people have the pluck to change their minds, and say so, if they see they have been wrong in their ideas.” —Enid Blyton. 3. “Sometimes, being true to yourself means changing your mind. Self changes, and you follow.” —Vera Nazarian. 4. “The willingness to change one’s mind in the light of new evidence is a sign of rationality, not weakness.” —Stuart Sutherland.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “The soul moves in circles,” psychologist James Hillman told us. “Hence our lives are not moving straight ahead; instead, hovering, wavering, returning, renewing, repeating.” In recent months, Virgo, your soul’s destiny has been intensely characterized by swerves and swoops. And I believe the rollicking motion will continue for many months. Is that bad or good? Mostly

good—especially if you welcome its poetry and beauty. The more you learn to love the spiral dance, the more delightful the dance will be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you have ever contemplated launching a career as a spy, the coming months will be a favorable time to do so. Likewise if you have considered getting trained as a detective, investigative journalist, scientific researcher, or private eye. Your affinity for getting to the bottom of the truth will be at a peak, and so will your discerning curiosity. You will be able to dig up secrets no one else has discovered. You will have an extraordinary knack for homing in on the heart of every matter. Start now to make maximum use of your superpowers!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you been sensing a phantom itch that’s impossible to scratch? Are you feeling less like your real self lately and more like an AI version of yourself? Has your heart been experiencing a prickly tickle? If so, I advise you not to worry. These phenomena have a different meaning from the implications you may fear. I suspect they are signs you will soon undertake the equivalent of what snakes do: molting their skins to make way for a fresh layer. This is a good thing! Afterward, you will feel fresh and new.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to legend, fifth-century Pope Leo I convinced the conquering army of Attila the Hun to refrain from launching a full-scale invasion of Italy. There may have been other reasons in addition to Leo’s persuasiveness. For example, some evidence suggests Attila’s troops were superstitious because a previous marauder died soon after attacking Rome. But historians agree that Pope Leo was a potent leader whose words carried great authority. You, Sagittarius, won’t need to be quite as fervently compelling as the ancient Pope in the coming weeks. But you will have an enhanced ability to influence and entice people. I hope you use your powers for good!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Singer-songwriter Joan Baez has the longevity and endurance typical of many Capricorns. Her last album in 2018 was released 59 years after her career began. An article in The New Yorker describes her style as “elegant and fierce, defiant and maternal.” It also noted that though she is mostly retired from music, she is “making poignant and unpredictable art,” creating weird, hilarious line drawings with her nondominant hand. I propose we make Baez your inspirational role model. May she inspire you to be elegant and fierce, bold and compassionate, as you deepen and refine your excellence in the work you’ve been tenaciously plying for a long time. For extra credit, add some unexpected new flair to your game.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author and activist Mary Frances Berry has won numerous awards for her service on behalf of racial justice. One accomplishment: She was instrumental in raising global awareness of South Africa’s apartheid system, helping to end its gross injustice.

“The time when you need to do something,” she writes, “is when no one else is willing to do it, when people are saying it can’t be done.” You are now in a phase when that motto will serve you well, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I invite you to spend quality time gazing into the darkness. I mean that literally and figuratively. Get started by turning off the lights at night and staring, with your eyes open, into the space in front of you.

After a while, you may see flashes of light. While these might be your optical nerves trying to fill in the blanks, they could also be bright spirit messages arriving from out of the void. Something similar could happen on a metaphorical level, too. As you explore parts of your psyche and your life that are opaque and unknown, you will be visited by luminous revelations.
